Re: Disk Muncher

Hey...Disk Muncher 1.0 and 1.1 were my great friends for years!

Okay, so they can't copy a protected disk.  But need a quick back-up of
ANYTHING not protected?  Is 26 seconds fast enough?  How about a classroom
set of the strange little routine that Althoff and friend cooked up for
BASIC Programming II?  Done.

Then there was the truly serious production copy program, Penaulti.  Like
Disk Muncher, it can't handle protected disks.  And it is slower than Disk
Muncher.  But it could make nine copies at a time if you had enough disk
drives connected!  

If you're trying to pirate warez, those copiers are pretty useless.  But
if you've been given the chore of making a dozen copies, or copying a
dozen disks (I've had to do both...this is high-school computing,
remember, and I was the student who got called on to do that stuff), such
programs are really, really nice to have!
